E. Authorization to enter into an Agreement with King County for Services Related to July 21, 2015
Effectiveness Monitoring of the S 356th St Retrofit and Expansion Project Consent
Mr. Smith presented information on the S 356th regional detention facility. The facility was
constructed in 1997 and has changed considerably over time. In 2011, Surface Water
Management obtained a grant to retrofit the facility to include a water treatment within
the pond area. The water runoff in this area mostly includes drainage from heavily
developed commercial areas. The City received a grant and city staff designed the retrofit
which included flow control, spill containment, treatment and a new bioretention facility.
This project generated a lot of interest among other jurisdictions because it was unique in
scope and size of a retrofitted pond to incorporate these water quality elements. It was
then nominated under a regional stormwater monitoring program to undergo
effectiveness monitoring through the Department of Ecology and ultimately selected for
the project. This project will be entirely funded by the Department of Ecology. The City
will be fully reimbursed for actual costs incurred to perform the water quality monitoring.
Staff believes these efforts will help demonstrate the project's effectiveness in controlling
flows and reducing contaminants in receiving waters in Federal Way.
Committee forwarded Option #1 as presented.

grant to study the water quality in the Upper Joe's Creek watershed to identify, control and
reduce external sources of pollutants that may be contributing to the hazardous algae
blooms in Lake Lorene and Lake Jeane. This project includes monthly monitoring for
approximately one year and includes a summary of findings and a public education
outreach element for residents in the area.
Committee forwarded Option #1 as presented.

H. Authorization to enter into an Agreement for Water Resource Inventory 9 (WRIA 9) July 21, 2015
Consent
Ms. Thurlow stated that as a jurisdiction within a portion of the Green River Watershed,
the City of Federal Way has been an active member of the Water Resource Inventory 9
(WRIA 9) management committee for salmon conservation based planning efforts in the
Green /Duwamish River and Central Puget Sound watershed since 2001. In 1999 the
Chinook salmon runs were listed as threatened under the endangered species act which
is what prompted the initial WRIA 9 Interlocal Agreement implementation. Several
jurisdictions came together to recover the chinook salmon population. A salmon habitat
plan was developed which aimed to protect and restore the habitat, to oversee land use
planning and public education outreach. As a participant, the City would commit to an
initial term of ten years and would have a cost share amount based on population,
assessed value and area percentage of each jurisdiction within WRIA 9.
Committee forwarded Option #1 as presented.
